Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging processing technology, specifically to an automatic sorting dual-channel packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] A dual-channel packaging machine is a device used for automated packaging and sorting, primarily to improve production efficiency and product quality. This type of machine is commonly used in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and other production lines.

[0003] For example, the national authorized patent announcement number CN207943206U discloses an automatic sorting dual-channel packaging machine, including a sorting device, a left packaging device, and a right packaging device. The sorting device includes a conveyor belt, a tray, and a U-shaped support. The support is fixed by a bracket, and the tray has openings at both ends. The tray is hinged to the U-shaped support via a rotating shaft, and the tray can swing left and right around the rotating shaft as a central axis. The conveyor belt is located on one side of the tray, and the left and right packaging devices are symmetrically located below the two ends of the tray. The conveyor belt has U-shaped slots for holding radishes on both its upper and lower sides, and the U-shaped slots have openings at both ends. This device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and significantly improves efficiency compared to manual placement.

[0004] However, the aforementioned automatic sorting dual-channel packaging machine cannot neatly arrange the radishes during the loading process. This causes the radishes to shift in position as they slide from the U-shaped slot into the tray. This uneven arrangement affects the appearance and stability of the product inside the packaging bag. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic sorting dual-channel packaging machine to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the radishes cannot be neatly arranged during the process of holding them, and that the radishes will shift in position as they slide from the U-shaped slot into the tray.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic sorting dual-channel packaging machine includes: a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt, a sorting mechanism is fixedly installed between the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, a top frame is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the other end of the sorting mechanism, and a placement mechanism is fixedly installed on the upper surface inside the top frame.

[0008] Preferably, a packaging box can be placed at the lower end of the other end of the sorting mechanism, and the packaging box located at the lower end of the sorting mechanism is flush with the placement mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, the sorting mechanism includes a guide plate, which is fixedly installed between the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt. One end of the guide plate is connected to a first channel and a second channel. The guide plate is in a straight line with the second channel and at a bend with the first channel. The other end of the first channel and the second channel is provided with a feed inlet.

[0010] Preferably, the packaging boxes placed at the lower end of the first and second channels can be guided and stored through the feed inlet.

[0011] Preferably, a storage frame is extended at one end of the second channel, and a closing push plate is rotatably installed inside the storage frame. The closing push plate can rotate to block the second channel and push objects located in the guide plate into the first channel.

[0012] Preferably, an L-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the second channel, and a first motor is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the L-shaped plate on the lower surface of the second channel. The output shaft of the first motor passes through the guide plate and is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the closed push plate.

[0013] Preferably, a linear module is fixedly installed at one end of both the first channel and the second channel, and the moving blocks of both sets of linear modules are fixedly installed in the connecting frame. The connecting frame is fixedly installed at both ends of the top frame, so that the linear module can drive the placement mechanism fixedly installed on the upper surface of the top frame to pass through the feed port and enter the packaging box.

[0014] Preferably, the placement mechanism includes a cross slide, which is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the top frame. A second motor is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the moving block of the cross slide, and a connecting plate is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the output shaft of the second motor. Connecting arms are rotatably installed on both sides of the connecting plate.

[0015] Preferably, electric push rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the connecting arm, and the piston rod of the electric push rod is rotatably installed at one end of another set of connecting arms.

[0016] Preferably, U-shaped clamps are fixedly installed on the inner side of the lower end of both sets of connecting arms.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. Through the design of the first conveyor belt, second conveyor belt, sorting mechanism, top frame, linear module, and placement mechanism, when sorting objects, materials can be placed at the upper end of the first and second conveyor belts. The first and second conveyor belts can then transport the objects on the upper surface to the sorting mechanism for guidance and sorting. After sorting, the materials will slide into the packaging box. The guidance and sorting operation of the sorting mechanism can ensure that the materials are accurately classified according to predetermined rules and requirements. This precise sorting capability can ensure smoother packaging operations and reduce rework or waste caused by sorting errors. Then, by activating the linear module, the top frame can be driven to slide vertically downward, which in turn allows the placement mechanism on the upper surface of the top frame to slide into the packaging box to neatly place the supplied materials. This reduces packaging speed bottlenecks caused by improper placement, and neat placement can increase packing density, allowing more materials to be loaded into the packaging box and reducing transportation and storage costs.

[0019] 2. Through the design of the guide plate, first channel, second channel, closed push plate, first motor, cross slide, second motor, connecting arm, and electric push rod, when the first and second conveyor belts transport objects to the guide plate, the material will slide directly into the second channel along the guide plate. If it is necessary to guide the current material into the first channel, the first motor can be started to drive the closed push plate to rotate out of the storage frame, blocking the second channel and pushing the material into the first channel. This achieves the sorting operation of the material. After sorting, the material will fall into the packaging box through the feed port for packing, thus ensuring that each material enters the correct packaging process, reducing sorting errors, and improving production efficiency. If the material in the packaging box is tilted, the linear module can be started to drive the top frame to slide vertically down. This allows the top frame to drive the cross slide on the upper surface of the interior to slide vertically downwards. The cross slide then drives the connecting arm on the lower surface of the second motor to change position and slide into the packaging box where the items need to be placed. Then, by activating the electric push rod, the connecting arm at one end of the piston rod is pushed to rotate on both sides of the connecting plate. The upper end of the connecting arm is pushed out, allowing the lower end of the connecting arm to clamp the items in the packaging box through the U-shaped clamp. Then, the linear module pushes the top frame up, which in turn causes the items in the U-shaped clamp to be clamped. Then, the cross slide moves to neatly arrange the items. Through the sorting and placement process, the need for manual labor is reduced. This not only reduces the labor intensity of operators but also reduces errors caused by human factors, improving the stability and consistency of overall production. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-6 This embodiment provides the following technical solution:

[0029] like Figures 1-2 As shown, an automatic sorting dual-channel packaging machine includes: a first conveyor belt 1 and a second conveyor belt 2. A sorting mechanism 3 is fixedly installed between the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2. A top frame 4 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the other end of the sorting mechanism 3. A placement mechanism 5 is fixedly installed on the upper surface inside the top frame 4.

[0030] A packaging box 6 can be placed at the lower end of the other end of the sorting mechanism 3. The packaging box 6 located at the lower end of the sorting mechanism 3 is flush with the placement mechanism 5.

[0031] Through the design of the first conveyor belt 1, the second conveyor belt 2, the sorting mechanism 3, the top frame 4, the linear module 401, and the placement mechanism 5, when sorting objects, materials can be placed at the upper end of the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2. The first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 can then transport the objects on the upper surface to the sorting mechanism 3 for guiding and sorting operations. After sorting, the materials will slide into the packaging box 6. The guiding and sorting operation by the sorting mechanism 3 can ensure that the materials are accurately classified according to predetermined rules and requirements. This precise sorting capability can ensure smoother packaging operations and reduce rework or waste caused by sorting errors. Then, by activating the linear module 401, the top frame 4 can be driven to slide vertically downward, which in turn allows the placement mechanism 5 on the upper surface of the top frame 4 to slide into the packaging box 6 to neatly place the supplied materials. This reduces packaging speed bottlenecks caused by improper placement, and neat placement can increase the packing density, allowing more materials to be loaded into the packaging box 6, thus reducing transportation and storage costs.

[0032] like Figures 3-6 As shown, the sorting mechanism 3 includes a guide plate 301, which is fixedly installed between the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2. One end of the guide plate 301 is connected to a first channel 302 and a second channel 303. The guide plate 301 is in a straight line with the second channel 303, and is in a bent angle with the first channel 302. The other end of the first channel 302 and the second channel 303 is provided with a feed inlet 306.

[0033] The packaging boxes 6 placed at the lower end of the first channel 302 and the second channel 303 can be guided and stored through the feed port 306.

[0034] A storage frame 304 is extended from one end of the second channel 303. A closing push plate 305 is rotatably installed inside the storage frame 304. The closing push plate 305 can rotate to block the second channel 303 and push the object located in the guide plate 301 into the first channel 302.

[0035] An L-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the second channel 303. A first motor 307 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the L-shaped plate on the lower surface of the second channel 303. The output shaft of the first motor 307 passes through the guide plate 301 and is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the closing push plate 305.

[0036] Linear modules 401 are fixedly installed at one end of the first channel 302 and the second channel 303. The moving blocks of the two linear modules 401 are fixedly installed in the connecting frame 402. The connecting frame 402 is fixedly installed at both ends of the top frame 4, so that the linear modules 401 can drive the placement mechanism 5 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the top frame 4 to pass through the feed port 306 and enter the packaging box 6.

[0037] The placement mechanism 5 includes a cross slide 501, which is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the top frame 4. A second motor 502 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the moving block of the cross slide 501. A connecting plate 503 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the output shaft of the second motor 502. Connecting arms 504 are rotatably installed on both sides of the connecting plate 503.

[0038] Electric push rods 506 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the connecting arm 504, and the piston rod of the electric push rod 506 is rotatably installed at one end of another set of connecting arms 504.

[0039] Both sets of connecting arms 504 have U-shaped clamps 505 fixedly installed on the inner side of their lower ends.

[0040] Through the design of guide plate 301, first channel 302, second channel 303, closing push plate 305, first motor 307, cross slide 501, second motor 502, connecting arm 504, and electric push rod 506, when the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 transport objects to the guide plate 301, the materials will slide directly into the second channel 303 along the guide plate 301. If it is necessary to guide the current material into the first channel 302, the first motor 307 can be started to drive the closing push plate 305 to rotate out of the storage frame 304, blocking the second channel 303 and pushing the material into the first channel 302, thus realizing the sorting operation of materials. After sorting, the materials will fall into the packaging box 6 through the feed port 306 for packing, thus ensuring that each material enters the correct packaging process, reducing sorting errors, and improving production efficiency. If the materials in the packaging box 6 are skewed, the linear module 401 can be started to drive the material to the correct position. The top frame 4 slides vertically down, which in turn causes the cross slide 501 on its inner upper surface to slide vertically down. The cross slide 501 then drives the connecting arm 504 on the lower surface of the second motor 502 to change position and slide into the packaging box 6 where the items need to be placed. Then, by activating the electric push rod 506, the connecting arm 504 at one end of the piston rod is pushed to rotate on both sides of the connecting plate 503. The upper end of the connecting arm 504 is pushed out, and the lower end of the connecting arm 504 can clamp the items in the packaging box 6 through the U-shaped clamp 505. Then, the linear module 401 pushes the top frame 4 up, which in turn causes the items in the U-shaped clamp 505 to be clamped. Then, the cross slide 501 can be moved to neatly place the items. Through the sorting and placement process, the need for manual labor is reduced. This not only reduces the labor intensity of operators, but also reduces errors caused by human factors, and improves the stability and consistency of overall production.

[0041] Based on the above technical solution, the working steps of this solution are summarized as follows: When sorting objects, materials can be placed at the upper end of the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2. The first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 can then transport the objects on the upper surface to the guide plate 301. The materials will then slide directly into the second channel 303 along the guide plate 301. If it is necessary to guide the current materials into the first channel 302, the first motor 307 can be started to drive the closed push plate 305 to rotate out from the storage frame 304, blocking the second channel 303 and pushing the materials into the first channel 302. This completes the sorting operation. After sorting, the materials will fall into the packaging box 6 through the feed inlet 306 for packing. If the materials in the packaging box 6 are tilted, they can be... The linear module 401 is activated to drive the top frame 4 to slide vertically downwards, which in turn causes the cross slide 501 on the upper surface of the top frame 4 to slide vertically downwards. The cross slide 501 then drives the connecting arm 504 on the lower surface of the second motor 502 to change position and slide into the packaging box 6 where the items need to be placed. Then, the connecting arm 504 at one end of the piston rod is pushed by the electric push rod 506 to rotate on both sides of the connecting plate 503. The upper end of the connecting arm 504 is pushed out, and the lower end of the connecting arm 504 can clamp the items in the packaging box 6 through the U-shaped clamp 505. Then, the linear module 401 pushes the top frame 4 up, which in turn causes the items in the U-shaped clamp 505 to be clamped up. Then, the items can be neatly arranged by moving the cross slide 501.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, to achieve automatic operation of the aforementioned automatic sorting dual-channel packaging machine, it is necessary to add corresponding sensors and a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) controller. The specific implementation plan is as follows:

[0043] 1. Sensor selection and installation

[0044] (1) Position sensor

[0045] Function: Used to detect the position of materials on the conveyor belt to ensure that the materials can accurately enter the sorting mechanism.

[0046] Installation location: at the ends of the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2, and at the entrance of the sorting mechanism 3.

[0047] (2) Weight sensor

[0048] Function: Used to detect the weight of materials inside the packaging box 6, ensuring that the material filling amount meets the requirements.

[0049] Installation location: The bottom of the packaging box 6 or below the sorting mechanism 3, at the position in contact with the packaging box 6.

[0050] (3) Photoelectric sensor

[0051] Function: Used to detect whether materials have passed through the sorting channel and the position of materials in the packaging box, assisting the placement mechanism in precise operation.

[0052] Installation location: at the end of the first channel 302 and the second channel 303 (i.e., near the feed inlet 306), and below the placement mechanism 5.

[0053] (4) Proximity switch

[0054] Function: Used to detect the position of the closed push plate 305 to ensure that it can accurately block and push materials.

[0055] Installation location: near the rotating shaft of the closed push plate 305.

[0056] 2. PLC controller configuration

[0057] (1) Input module

[0058] It receives signals from various sensors, including material position signals from position sensors, weight signals from weight sensors, material passage signals from photoelectric sensors, and closed push plate position signals from proximity switches.

[0059] (2) Output module

[0060] Control the start, stop, and speed of the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2.

[0061] The start, stop and rotation direction of the first motor 307 are controlled to control the blocking and pushing action of the closed push plate 305.

[0062] Control the vertical movement and positioning of the linear module 401.

[0063] The starting, stopping, rotation, and extension / retraction actions of the second motor 502 and the electric push rod 506 are controlled to achieve precise operation of the placement mechanism.

[0064] (3) Program Logic

[0065] Based on the signals received from the input module, the PLC controller will execute the preset program logic.

[0066] When the material arrives at the sorting mechanism 3, the PLC controller will determine the classification of the material and control the action of the closed push plate 305 to guide the material to the correct channel.

[0067] After the material enters the packaging box 6 through the feed inlet 306, the PLC controller will receive the signal from the weight sensor to determine whether the material weight meets the standard.

[0068] If the materials inside the packaging box 6 are not positioned correctly, the PLC controller will control the linear module 401 and the placement mechanism 5 to place them precisely.

[0069] 3. Automated processes

[0070] Material conveying: The first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 convey the material to the sorting mechanism 3.

[0071] Sorting operation: The PLC controller controls the closed push plate 305 to guide the material to the correct channel based on the signals from the position sensor and photoelectric sensor.

[0072] Material packing: The material enters the packaging box 6 through the feed port 306. The PLC controller receives the signal from the weight sensor and determines the weight of the material.

[0073] Placement operation: If the material is not in the correct position, the PLC controller controls the linear module 401 and the placement mechanism 5 to place it accurately.

[0074] Cyclic operation: The entire process is carried out automatically in a loop until all materials are sorted and packaged.

[0075] The above solutions enable the automatic operation of the dual-channel automatic sorting packaging machine, improving production efficiency and accuracy.

[0076] In summary, this packaging machine can pick up and neatly arrange objects that are placed at an angle. Through the sorting and placement process, the need for manual labor is reduced. This not only reduces the labor intensity of operators but also reduces errors caused by human factors, thereby improving the stability and consistency of overall production.
